Color Television Mobile Units

New ultra-modern color mobile units designed and constructed by NBC and put into operation in 1966 were designed specifically for the expansion of NBC-TV's color programing, with emphasis on sports coverage. The primary units were three 40-ft trailers designated as the Equipment or Camera Trailer, the Control or Production Trailer and the Carryall Trailer. Technical operating facilities supplied with the three trailers consisted of five color cameras, a black-and-white insert camera, pulse-generating and distribution equipment, color videotape recorders capable of instant replay, a video-switching system accommodating 20 inputs, chroma key facilities and an audio system that accommodates 30 inputs.
